A year ago, today May 3, though a Saturday, the Australian conservative Liberal-National Party Coalition lost an unlosable federal election giving Labor, filled with promises of social harmony and responsible spending, a second term. Labor wasn’t being believed. For a month it had spiralled downwards in the polls, until the Liberal Party announced antipathy to working from home for absolutely no political reason before reversing itself. The damage was done. Australians voted for what they thought was a more predictable future.
